Neat shot, are the apples still edible?



I tasted 2 of them today. They are still good and taste fine. (Well, it
were only the first signs of winter and not the Ice Age.) It has been
warm today and the other apples remain still on the tree.
I grafted the 'tree' myself. It is in a pot and only about 4 feet tall.
The branch with the apples is sort of the main trunk actually. Of course
I had to lean it against another plant in summer, because it bore 7
apples this year to my surprise.
